Sometimes, we criticize Tony Romo so much that you lose sight of the fact that he's a terrific quarterback.

Now, he has played poorly after December, which skews our view of him as it should. But if you were starting a team in the NFC East and had to pick a quarterback, I'd go with Romo.

Here's my ranking:

1. Tony Romo: Has every athletic gift you want in a quarterback and is entering his prime, but it's time for him to play his best when the games matter most

2. Donovan McNabb: You can come up with a lot of excuses, but he's never quite gotten his team over the hump, though he has been to one Super Bowl

3. Eli Manning: He played by far the best football of his career, during the Giants' Super Bowl run

4. Jason Campbell: Washington spent the entire offseason trying to replace him

Random insight from JJT, but accurate.

 

[Bizwah]

I hope they don't get wind of this over at ES....it'll get ugly.

4. Jason Campbell: Washington spent the entire offseason trying to replace him

That has to rock his confidence.

I honestly don't think he has shown anything to convince me he can get it done at the highest level.

Romo is getting hammered on the radio for not talking to the media after practice today. Not showing "leadership".

You don't show leadership by talking to the media.

You lead by example. He better be busting his *** out there. Staying sharp mentally and physically.

Time's running out. He has to show us what he has. No more excuses.

I guess he doesn't want to answer questions about Jessica....

You gonna fire him?

 

[AdamJT13]

Didn't Mosley rank Romo third in the division?

 

[Hostile]

I hope they don't get wind of this over at ES....it'll get ugly.

Then I hope they do get wind of it.

[PullMyFinger]

I guess he doesn't want to answer questions about Jessica....

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. Stupid questions about her, or TO.

That's why they're so disappointed he didn't talk to them. It leaves no chance to twist his words into something he never said.

You don't say.... In other news, the grass is green.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I'm shocked.

Did JJT really write that?

 

[bbgun]

I'm shocked.

And he gets bashed anyway. Just another day in lala land.

 

[theogt]

And he gets bashed anyway. Just another day in lala land.

You would have criticized them for being inconsistent if they hadn't bashed him.
